Dr. Kevin Wernham, LMHC

Dr. Kevin Wernham is a licensed mental health counselor who helps people who feel stuck by stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, anger, or depression. He speaks plainly and focuses on practical steps so parents and busy adults can use what they learn right away. He frames the work around each person's goals and strengths rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.

Kevin believes people are the experts on their own lives and that change starts with small, steady moves. In sessions he listens first, then works with clients to set clear, realistic goals. He uses evidence-informed methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and build new habits.

His approach also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and client-centered techniques to help people notice their values and stay motivated. He mixes mindfulness exercises with straightforward problem solving when stress, relationship strain, or workplace issues get in the way of daily life. He often focuses on communication skills and practical steps for handling conflict or transitions like separation and divorce.

Over 10 years of practice in Florida have given him experience with concerns such as forgiveness, guilt, infidelity, first responder issues, and purpose-driven work. He supports men who want to work on self-love and confidence, and he helps people navigate the emotional fallout of major life changes.

Sessions emphasize collaboration, realistic homework, and tracking small wins. The tone is respectful and goal-oriented, aimed at helping clients build skills they can use between meetings.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Dr. Wernham uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot patterns of thinking that keep them anxious or down and then test new ways of thinking and acting. CBT is useful for everyday problems like stress, low mood, and unhelpful reactions in relationships.

He also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people clarify what matters most and take values-driven steps even when uncomfortable feelings remain. ACT can be helpful for managing ongoing anxiety or when life changes make decisions feel heavy.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will talk with each person about their situation, goals, and preferences and then try methods that fit best. Sessions are collaborative and adjusted over time based on what helps most.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to give flexibility for different days and needs. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and shared exercises, phone calls can fit into a short break, live chat works for quick check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options help people keep momentum while balancing family, work, and other commitments.
